Lemuel Spicer. He was born in Kent County, Delaware in
1770. I can trace his history forward until death in Sangamon County, Illinois
(1842) but know nothing of Lemuel's parents or siblings and their experience
in Kent County. Please contact me at Ralphspicer@aol.com. Thank you

I am looking
for information on the parents of my 3x great grandfather Bartholomew Manlove.
He was born in Kent County, DE in 1776, according to the 1850 Texas census.
Bartholomew married Avarilla (also spelled Aberilla in some places) Perkins in
Baltimore County, MD in 1807. They moved to Kentucky shortly after that and I
find him in the 1810 and 1830 Kentucky censuses with his family.
I have looked in censuses for Kent County, but they do not show the names of children this early. I need a lookup for land or probate records in Kent county. Bartholomew is said in our family to have been an only child. There is a Bartholomew Manlove born in 1776 whose parents are listed as Ann/Nancy Bolling and William Manlove. Ann/Nancy Bolling is from Virginia, however. She and her sister married brothers. Elizabeth Bolling married Christopher Manlove and Ann/Nancy married Christopher's brother, William.
I can find no conclusive documentation
of Bartholomew's parents or birth, but he seems to have large sums of money to
buy slaves at the age of 24, and I have found documents of sales of land by
him to people in Maryland, prior to his move to Kentucky. Also, I find the
relatives of Dr. Christopher Henry Manlove of Virginia (who left and settled
his family in Robertson County, Tennessee), moving to Texas and settling on
Bartholomew's land grants. So I feel like that these people, also from
Virginia Manloves, must be his relatives.
I also find the name Peter Lowber
(who married Margaret Manlove) associated with him.
Since Ann/Nancy and William seem to have dropped off the face of the earth, I am wondering if Bartholomew could have been orphaned and living in another home with relatives at an early age.
Any lookup help for Bartholomew would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mariann Fisk Laughlin
